Darkness: Difference between revisions

According to Master Xehanort, the [[Keyblade]]s are the remains of the Keyblade wielders after the [[Keyblade War]] between the battle of light and darkness.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''''', '''Master Xehanort''': "Behold. These lifeless keys used to be full of power—united with the hearts of their masters. On this barren soil, Keyblades of light and darkness were locked in combat... as a great Keyblade War raged. Countless Keyblade wielders gave up their lives, all in search of one, ultimate key. And it will soon belong to me... χ-blade."</ref> [[Vanitas]] was a living embodiment of the darkness that once resided in [[Ventus]]'s heart, having the ability to turn negative emotions into [[Unversed]]. Master Xehanort plotted to have Terra submit to darkness in order to prep him for hosting his heart, succeeding in doing so and possessing him.

Most of Sora and company's quest is aimed at closing the [[Door to Darkness]] and eliminating the Heartless epidemic. The entire story seems at first very biased towards the force of Light. However, one important belief about light is that there is always "a light in the deepest darkness". This plays a role many times in the story, including when Sora opens the Door to Darkness and finds a blinding light inside with [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]]. Even through all of the bias towards light, the opposed forces are in fact still balanced with a closed [[Door to Light]] and a closed Door to Darkness. There are also two Keyblades, one from the Realm of Light, which is used by Sora, and one from the Realm of Darkness, which is used by King Mickey.
